Psion, via their de facto link to the blogosphere, jkOnTheRun, have responded to the Dell and Intel filings. Surprisingly they claim that "although manufacture has been discontinued, sales in the US and EU have not"...

Save the Netbooks

Save the Netbooks Yes but if the people decide they be called "netbooks" but the courts decide the only company able to sell "netbooks" is Psion then we have an obvious problem (only the exact opposite of what trademarks are intended for - rather than being confused into buying from *another* seller they'll be confused into buying from the legitimate owner!?!?!)

A handful of brits may be ready to start the "Save Psion from Save the Netbooks" campaign if this afternoon's antics over at Wikipedia are any indication...
Save the Netbooks
Who'd have guessed that the very same day we registered the domain to launch the "Save the Netbooks" campaign (16 February 2009), the Courthouse News Service broke the story that Intel had filed against Psion in the district court of Northern California: Intel Wants 'Netbook' Trademark Canceled SAN...

Mission Three is simply to take advantage of Psion's amnesty for bloggers and journalists by using the term "netbook": Relentlessly Gratuitously and Generically (that is, all lower case, describing a class of laptops) Thanks to Gizmodo Australia for the incentive...
Save the Netbooks
This all started back on 23 December 2008 with Netbook enthusiast web sites getting C & D using term “netbook”. This obviously caused quite some angst and a bunch of angry bloggers vented about their dissatisfaction with Psion which resulted in a fair bit of media attention. Ps...
Save the Netbooks
There's a number of things that Psion could have done to avoid losing the "netbook" trademark. For a start, trademarks relate to a specific class of goods or services. The "netbook" mark #75215401 is just for "laptop computers", as in the devices themselves...

Now that it is abundantly clear that Psion Teklogix' trademark is a toothless tiger we have [re]submitted a public complaint with a view to having the AdWords ban lifted for everyone else. You're welcome to forward it to ads-trademarks@google.com with your own comments if you like...

There's been a lot of unnecessary discussion about potential alternatives to the term "netbook" but one of the most palatable alternatives (which is surprisingly rarely mentioned) is "WEBBOOK"...
